We booked the Olde House as our venue for our small wedding. The place was perfect! We had everything we needed at our disposal, our out of town guests were able to stay the night at the venue, and we were able to do things on our timeline without feeling rushed. I would absolutely recommend this as an option to anyone looking for a unique wedding venue.recommend this

We are from out of state. This was the perfect venue for hosting a rehearsal dinner in the event center next door and a place for my sons groomsmen to stay. In the heart of town. Close to everything we needed. Plenty of space for everyone. Ample parking! Well stocked commercial kitchen and commercial ice maker.

Fabulous, spacious property. We used for a wedding and had lots of kitchen space to get food ready. The rooms were spacious and the two extra half baths were nice! Wonderful old house charm! Recommend opting for the wedding package for the venue addition with all the tables and chairs, ice chests, and air conditioned/heated space which came in handy! Most reasonable priced venue we could find in the area with the ability to use as a venue and have rooms for our guests to stay! We enjoyed our visit and highly recommend The Olde House!

This enchanting house was perfect for a dinner party with my friends and I. The kitchen has everything! And it is wonderfully set up to have a medium sized group share laughs over fresh homemade food. The beds were surprisingly comfy and, the back yard is beautiful. We all enjoyed our stay to the fullest.

The pictures do not do this beautiful old property any Justice!
The age and handiwork throughout and large kitchen space made it feel like home. we didn’t want to leave!
My wife and I took a chance site unseen and had the wedding of our dreams here.
They do have a wedding package available which gives you access to the covered shed with tables and chairs… which can sit almost 50 people about 12 tables. Ask the owner about it. I’m glad we did! It was a huge help. We loved everything about the home and will more than likely stay again in the future!!!

Perfect size for our group of 11. Very close to restaurants and shops. When we checked in there was an issue with the air conditioner and the owner came over right away and when he was unable to resolve the issue he called a contractor who was very prompt and resolved the issue. Would definitely stay here again.

Positives: house was Big, clean, huge modern kitchen for lots of people to gather, well-stocked pantry, loved having a washer/dryer available, 4 toilets, recliners, & nice fenced-in backyard. Air conditioning was able to keep up in the Texas heat but we had to lower the thermostat to 70 to keep the house a cool 75 degrees. The host was great about communicating before the trip. House had a lot of cool/interesting features. Town of Wiley was adorable & Frankie's Casa Tex Mex was AMAZING!
Negatives: says sleeps 13 without air mattresses, in reality, it would only be 11 if there were 2 people in the 1 king, 3 queens, 1 double, & twin. We had 10 adults, so it worked without having to use air mattresses. Double bed needs a flat platform under the mattress due to a thin mattress on boards that you could feel. We put that mattress on the floor to sleep. Bedroom lamps had shorts in them. Main room couch needs replacing, it swallowed anyone who sat on it.
House on busy street, a bit tricky pulling in & out. Front door VERY hard to close.
We left several recommendations to make a stay more accommodating & user-friendly such as: having a guest folder with instructions, fans, ext cords, more lamps (house was dark), Wi-Fi ext upstairs, etc.
We had one major issue with the ovens, both broken & not working. We called, texted, & emailed. It took several hours before anyone responded. No one ever came out to fix the problem while we were there.

Had an amazing wedding there. The backyard and garage worked great for the ceremony and reception. The ascetic of the house is great. All the amenities we needed for both the wedding and over night stay.

We had a large group of 15 family members stay at this lovely property. It was everything the listing promised. The gourmet kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots, pans and dishes to make cooking a breeze. Everyone slept comfortably in the well apportioned bedrooms. The living spaces were spacious and comfortable. We also rented the adjacent party venue for an event. It was perfect for our get together. We very much enjoyed our stay and all of our needs and questions were met with prompt responses from the host. We would definitely stay again!

Absolutely beautiful home and well taken care of. We had everything we needed and it was super nice being walkable distance to downtown Wylie. It was perfect for our large party. 13 stayed the night, but several came to mingle. The kitchen, back yard and large front porch was perfect for mingling without feeling cramped. The ice box was super handy. Also, the host was very kind and quick to respond. We loved it!!

This place is perfect for a small to medium sized wedding reception. The hosts are very attentive and quick to respond. The back yard has plenty of space and with the tables and chairs already included in the garage, it can be arranged however you see fit. I would absolutely recommend this place.

We rented the home and wedding package. The layout is amazing. Colton really worked with us tremendously through the process. The house has so much character it fits our personalities perfectly. The Kitchen was absolutely perfect. We did all the cook for our wedding ourselves. Working around the kitchen was simple and allowed my sister-in-law and I the ability to work together and not be in each other's ways. I would love to come back ever few years with my wife and enjoy the house again. Thank you Olde.House

We rented this home for a wedding venue. We had family stay at the house for a few days preceding as well. There is ample space in the house as well as the backyard. The home is old and charming with all the modern amenities. Great find!

We searched and searched to find the perfect birthday venue. This was it. Plenty of rooms for gatherings. Kitchen was amazing with room for serving. Sitting was everywhere. Beds were comfy with lots of extra quilts! Also used the party room to play games! It was a win for everyone who came

First the house is a beautiful blast back in time. So many places to explore throughout the home. We had 6 adults and there was room for each to have their own space, yet there are other spaces to get together. It was really perfect for a family get together.
The kitchen was modern and great for the cook and other folks to sit nearby and chat.
The living room has a gas fireplace and TV. Lots of time was spent there. Nothing went wrong, and when we had a question, Colton got right back to us.
We are from Alaska, and had a great time staying in the old house and visiting Wylie.

GREAT CHOICE!
The Old House was perfect for our family holiday time together. The kitchen is fantastic! It makes a wonderful meeting area for lounging and enjoying others' company. The backyard is a wonderful space that allows for visiting and a safe place for kids to roam and play. Lone thing to remember for your stay is that closet space is very limited. We will likely be back.

Backyard Wedding
My husband and I really enjoyed our wedding under the beautiful gazebo. We knew from the second we saw it that we wanted to get married with it as our backdrop.

Beautiful
Olde House is absolutely beautiful. We have stayed here many times. We always traveled w mom.... this time she did not come. The Lord took her home. She was almost 91 and she passed of this awful virus. Her sister had a stroke the day before she passed. We had mom’s memorial service at the Wylie house she had stayed at so many times. We had to be closer to the Dallas area so her sister could attend. This home will always hold a special meaning to our family. It is a treasure. And the owners and their son are wonderful.

A Costa Rican Peruvian Birthday Party
All was lovely! Colton was a very lovely host. We celebrated a birthday with an international crowd and all could not have been nicer.
The house is quite charming with accompanying wood creaks on the stairs. Heard a faint crow of a rooster in the morning which was grand. I had bedroom closest to street and traffic noise was not bad at all. We had a piano concert with pianist Richard Davis and his beautiful wife. Piano was tuned.
Concert was divine!
Stove oven did not seem to work on right hand side as well as left side.
We had lamb Lollipops and Big ole Texas Tenderloin Filets. All was scrumptious!
Showers were cozy hot, coffee pot worked like a charm!
Our stay could not have been nicer!
Our host even specifically mowed the lawn special for us!
Wonderful property that is especially unique, with a little dash of ghostly charm!
